Aidan's results from his biopsy of his nose tissue revealed a diagnosis of discoid lupus erythematosus. We are currently treating this with a course of antibiotics, Vitamin E and Niacinamide (B vitamins). We chose not to use the steroid treatment as his weight is a bit heavier than we would like. As spring approaches, the wolves traditionally lose their winter weight. We will be using this treatment for 3 months and reassess as time progresses. In addition to the oral medications, we will be applying a UV lotion to his nose to reduce the harmful effects of UV rays.
